Contents Page So Far...

This is my finished contents page so far, and, as seen, I still have work to do on it. I will continue editing my contents page so that it can look as good as it can, as well as editing my front cover.

Contents Page Production 2

This was the second part of the production of my contents page. For this, I added some 'Cover Stories' to the picture of my model, Helena, as I believed that they fitted in to the left of that picture nicely. I stuck to the fonts that I had previously mentioned in my last post, as well as keeping the colour scheme of mainly mustard and white. When my model is wearing different coloured clothes in any other photos I decide to either put onto my contents page or include into my double page spread, I may have to change the colour of the fonts so that they fit better with what my model is wearing.

Contents Page Production #1

This was the first step in the production of my contents page, and, to start with, I decided upon choosing a totally different text for my title. Once I had chosen the text, called 'Park Lane' from dafont.com, I decided that I did like this font better than the one I had originally used on my front cover, so I have decided to, when I start editing my front cover to make it a more vintage style, use that font so it fits with my genre more than the current one does. I have also found 2 other texts from dafont.com that I think fit with the vintage theme much more, and these are 'Bellrose' and 'Fotnleroy Brown', which I thought looked more vintage than the others that I used. After this, I added another photo of Helena from more pictures that I took; I edited the colouring on ipiccy.com so that the colouring looked more vintage - I added more blue and golden tones than bright green style tones so that it fitted into my style more. I then played around with the area I wanted to put my picture in, and then I decided that I would base it on a Vogue magazine contents page that usually situate's its pictures to the top left.
